Difference between Huntington's disease and Senescence

Huntington's disease vs. Senescence

Huntington's disease (HD), also known as Huntington's chorea, is an inherited disorder that results in death of brain cells. Senescence or biological ageing is the gradual deterioration of function characteristic of most complex lifeforms, arguably found in all biological kingdoms, that on the level of the organism increases mortality after maturation.

Similarities between Huntington's disease and Senescence

Huntington's disease and Senescence have 21 things in common (in Unionpedia): Amino acid, Cardiovascular disease, DNA, Drosophila melanogaster, Gene expression, Genetic disorder, Genetics, Guanine, Injury, Locus (genetics), Mitochondrion, Model organism, Mutation, Oxidative stress, Phenotype, Programmed cell death, Protein, Proteostasis, Reactive oxygen species, Stem cell, Wilson's disease.

Amino acid

Amino acids are organic compounds containing amine (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups, along with a side chain (R group) specific to each amino acid.

Cardiovascular disease

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a class of diseases that involve the heart or blood vessels.

DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a thread-like chain of nucleotides carrying the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses.

Gene expression

Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product.

Genetic disorder

A genetic disorder is a genetic problem caused by one or more abnormalities in the genome.

Genetics

Genetics is the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in living organisms.

Guanine

Guanine (or G, Gua) is one of the four main nucleobases found in the nucleic acids DNA and RNA, the others being adenine, cytosine, and thymine (uracil in RNA).

Injury

Injury, also known as physical trauma, is damage to the body caused by external force.

Locus (genetics)

A locus (plural loci) in genetics is a fixed position on a chromosome, like the position of a gene or a marker (genetic marker).

Mitochondrion

The mitochondrion (plural mitochondria) is a double-membrane-bound organelle found in most eukaryotic organisms.

Model organism

A model organism is a non-human species that is extensively studied to understand particular biological phenomena, with the expectation that discoveries made in the organism model will provide insight into the workings of other organisms.

Mutation

In biology, a mutation is the permanent alteration of the nucleotide sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA or other genetic elements.

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress reflects an imbalance between the systemic manifestation of reactive oxygen species and a biological system's ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or to repair the resulting damage.

Phenotype

A phenotype is the composite of an organism's observable characteristics or traits, such as its morphology, development, biochemical or physiological properties, behavior, and products of behavior (such as a bird's nest).

Programmed cell death

Programmed cell death (or PCD) is the death of a cell in any form, mediated by an intracellular program.

Protein

Proteins are large biomolecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues.

Proteostasis

Proteostasis, a portmanteau of the words protein and homeostasis, is the concept that there are competing and integrated biological pathways within cells that control the biogenesis, folding, trafficking and degradation of proteins present within and outside the cell.

Reactive oxygen species

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are chemically reactive chemical species containing oxygen.

Stem cell

Stem cells are biological cells that can differentiate into other types of cells and can divide to produce more of the same type of stem cells.

Wilson's disease

Wilson's disease is a genetic disorder in which copper builds up in the body.
